Learning Disabilities Dataset 2018-2027

The Learning Disabilities Dataset (LDD) working in partnership with NHS England seeks aggregated data on key health issues for people with a learning disability, and comparative data about a control group without a learning disability. It covers demography, health status, screening uptake, preventive interventions and prevalence and management of key health conditions. The data are to support production of a range of ICB–level primary care indicators covering care quality for people with a learning disability. These are intended to support benchmarking and quality improvement of primary care provision for this group
